Technical newsflash for my blogging buddies!!!

One of the features that I've found myself missing repeatedly during my blogging adventures (my latest was that debachle of a posting a couple of days ago) where I repeatedly found myself WISHING for the ability to create a TABLE within the blog posting, to make the text behave itself, and retain the PRETTY tabular layout that I painstakingly attempted to create with some VERY creative space-bar work...only to have it turn out as YUCKY (technical term) as it did...

Our good friends at Google have GRACIOUSLY released yet ANOTHER killer-app for the web, by releasing Google Docs and Spreadsheets...

Now we are FREED of the tyranny of free-form, floating text that WON'T behave, by creating tables in Google Docs, and adding text or images to the tables, and then they've made it a piece of cake to post over here at blogger.com....

SWEET!!!

Nevermore will you have to read ugly, messy postings......just poorly constructed ones, with random thoughts....

Now that's using your head....

I first saw this story about a month ago on the KTLA morning news, and now the video has been posted at YouTube...

This is an impressive use of technology used for humanitarian purposes...and some pretty doggone (or is that DEERGONE...bad, Scott....) fine piloting, too...

(Thanks to LA's own "ChopperChick" Desiree Horton for posting ANOTHER YouTube clip from Comedy Central poking fun at "Chopper 4"...good stuff....that one led me to THIS one that I've been looking for...well, I THOUGHT about looking for it...)
